DESCRIPTION

The spic driver allows using moused(8) to drive the Sony Vaio Jogdial device found on
several Sony Vaio models. It works by mapping the forward, backwards, up, and down inputs
to “l”, “r”, “u”, and “d”, respectively. From that a program reading the Jogdial can decide
what to do. Some actions might include scrolling, mimicking mouse buttons, launching
applications, or other useful things.
